Abstract

Embodiments are provided for centralized control of execution of a quantum program. In some embodiments, a system can include a processor that executes computer-executable components stored in memory. The computer-executable components include a synchronization component that causes multiple controller devices remotely located relative to the system to be synchronized with one another and the system. The computer-executable components also include an ingestion component that accesses measurement data resulting from one or more measurements at respective qubit devices. The computer-executable components further include a composition component that generates, using the measurement data, one or more control messages for respective second controller devices of the multiple controller devices.
